Last week, I had the rare opportunity to spend one-on-one time with some of the most uncommon minds in the world while attending the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting in Omaha.

This piece is my attempt to distill and synthesize the notes down to a set of lessons.

11 lessons from a week with legends: (1) Being misunderstood is the cost of entry, (2) Regularly question your certainty, (3) Awareness is perishable, (4) Education is the most magical thing in the world, (5) Compartmentalization is a muscle, (6) The final 5% costs an extra 100%, (7) Your environment is your destiny, (8) Cultivate an environment of respectful disagreement, (9) You have to earn the right to be a long-term thinker, (10) Stop pressing the eject button, and (11) Boredom is a cheat code.
